‘Pan Am’ took off on Sunday

“Pan Am,” the second series this fall inspired by “Mad Men,” premiered at 10 p.m. Sunday on ABC. I thought it was light fluff that made some efforts to capture the nostalgic feel of 1960s air travel. Did you think the show had what it takes?

I just watched it (dvr). I am always amazed at how people will think that after one hour the show should qualify for an Oscar. I never got into the whole Mad Men thing, can anyone think back to the first hour and remember what it was like? I’m sure it was much like this, character introduction and a little backstory. What else can you do in an hour?

I am in the group that says give the show more of a chance than just one hour. Maybe three.
